I had ‘postural hypotension’ diagnosed this January on a tilt test table; I thought I had self diagnosed PoTS but the Falls specialist said definitely not that heart rate went up to 135 ish as compensation as my BP plummeted from hypertensive at normal rest to 60/40 after 8 minutes standing. My GP had me on 5 hypertensive drugs, the falls expert removed two, but my GP has put me back on one…have you found a drug ( that might be available in UK) that copes with this hyper/ hypo tensive yo-yo…it’s very disabilitating and can only walk short domestic distance, or weekly with supermarket trolley ( but cannot stand at check out)?

I only run low and lower so fluid retention drugs like fludrocortisone help me to retain salt and volume. If you pee a lot and that causes some of your drop- desmopressin can be good. If you want to try something short acting, midodrine will push pressure, but it’s out of your system in 6 hours so no danger if you go high. It’s so hard trialing so many meds. My lows are like yours- 65/45. Awful.

I’m in the US and we have many supermarket delivery services. I love online shopping and delivery to my kitchen!
Find whatever services are available where you live and save your energy for something fun like an occasional short lunch.
